Q. Does the NDIS pay for the servicing of the vehicle?

A. No. This needs to be budgeted buy the client/parents/guardians/carers from the client’s income or pension. We are looking into this to see what we can do to limit the costs of servicing.

Q. How long does it take to get a wheelchair access vehicle?

A. It varies, it can take 6 to 10 weeks for the modification to be completed. Currently it is taking 10 months to get a KIA into the country.

Q. Who will be doing the modification?

A. Freedom Motors is our preferred supplier but if they can't keep up with the demand, we will be seeking assistance from other modifiers.

Q. What will it cost me?

A. If approved by the NDIS for vehicle modification funding, the NDIS will pay for the modification. If you are approved by the Board of MMMC and we have the funding available, Make Me Mobile will pay for the vehicle. Anything outside these two parameters we cannot comment on.

Q. How does the privacy policy affect me as a client?

A. The privacy policy is so you are aware of our commitment to the Client to protect their information that they are providing us. This is legislation that we must follow.

Q. Why does Make Me Mobile want my image and what will it be used for?

A. Make Me Mobile require up to three photos of you that you choose to allow us to use on social media and our website. This makes raising money for these vehicles a lot easier for us and more real to the public because they can see who their money is helping. Their money is not going to something they can’t see! Without these photos it is very difficult to raise the money for these vehicles.
